WASHINGTON (AP) - With negotiations on a new international climate treaty proving difficult, the Obama administration's chief climate negotiator on Thursday called on the Senate to act as soon as possible and pass legislation to control the gases blamed for global warming.
Todd Stern, the State Department's special envoy for climate change, told a House panel that it was critical for the Senate to pass legislation to give the U.S. the "credibility and leverage" that it needs to convince other countries to reduce their pollution.
While Stern cited progress, he said there's still a divide between developing countries worried that emissions limits will hinder economic growth, and developed countries, which know that global warming cannot be slowed without the participation of fast-growing economies like China and India.

PING.
idiot, there is no global warming....
..another Czar speaks?
czarism
FTUN
These are the types of guys that say we need to get rid of our military and weapons so we can tell others too.
Our government is full of idiots.
Actually, he’s right that the .gov DOES need a “climate bill”, he’s just lying about the reason WHY they need it.
They need it for the virtually unlimited and, for the consumer unavoidable, revenue stream it will produce.
Starve the beast, or it will eat us alive.
CZARS AND TYRANTS NEED NOT APPLY, THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY INFILTRATED SAID GOVERNMENT WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY!!
Whoa. And some broccoli too.
“Top US Official”
Translated: Someone with absolutely no credentials in science - or for that matter, with no ability to get credentials in science - has given us opinions on a subject that appears to be right up there with UFO research.

“We’ll kill out economy first, if you pretty please promise to kill yours next.”
I think India and China have both adamantly and repeatedly stated that they’re not playing.
In politics, “urgency” is code for passing bad policy before it is exposed. With the present lying trash inhabiting the halls of power in Washington, everything is urgent. It is urgent to pass horrible legislation before too many people figure out what kind of lie the goons are pushing onto them. It’s all about destroying America before the stupid masses realize what is happening.
The list, ping
On a peripherally related subject, I’ve always found it interesting that the “experts” refer to them as “greenhouse” gases.
I’ve been in a LOT of greenhouses and none of them smelled like THAT!
;^)
This Chicken Little stuff is really getting old.
Easy does it Stern, or we’ll sic Glenn on you!
As urgently as the ‘stimulus’ bill (which is 90% unspent) ??
He must be on the toilet and out of TP and figured “Oh well, the climate bill will work, as long as the paper is soft.”
They need to pass lots of bills quickly because they will be voted out of office in 2010.
2010 can’t come soon enough!!!!
These morons are determined to walk us off a cliff.
Time to level off these heroic efforts or we may get too much global cooling.
A climate bill: more job-killing restrictions and regulations, and lots more money to spend on junk science.
Oh, and did anyone make the parallel between Van Jones' excuse for signing the truther petition - that he didn't realize what he was signing? Is that what's happening with all these bills that "must be passed now"?
I'm still waiting for hearings discussing the science relating to the cause before we address actions to correct that will have little to no impact.
Does anyone care to guess what the mighty 0's next three years will be like? Should we have a competition on the predictions we can come up with? What bills will he try to push?
I don’t like their forecasts, this guy has a better handle on the near future, I think:
Suddenly everything is urgently needed. No time to even read a bill. What we urgently need is to purge congress and the exective branch of loons, radicals and nut cases.
Why do we keep putting illiterates on these negotiating teams. This guy obviously can't read words. We now know he can't read a thermometer.
"Nothing the United States can do is more important for the international negotiation process than passing robust, comprehensive clean energy legislation as soon as possible," Stern said.
Morons like Obama and the people who work for him think if they can use 'robust' in a sentence, people will think they're smart. Wow.
LOL! You certainly will! ;-)
Is 0bama Podesta’s front man?
I’d like to see how air conditioner sales were this summer.
I know I only had to use mine a few times.
I had a space heater going under my desk this morning.
Gotta rush this through... rush, rush, rush.... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, or what the other hand is doing..... rush, rush, rush... the sky is falling, we’re all gonna die!!
Quick! Before there is a chance for it to snow in October in DC!

Carbon Cap Tax & Scam Ping ~ (POGW)
(US rejected Kyoto because) “it exempted countries like India and China ...”
The deal’s still on the table: they cork-up their Brahma cows and water buffalo and we’ll eat more beef.
I would prefer a law against gravity.
Seems like I just keep getting heavier.
All the climate loonies are running wild behind the head lunatic.
They should be hanging from gallows on the front lawn.
Treasonous, globalist b*stards who want to play god.
And 5% of that probably went to ACORN and the other commie front groups.
x, he’s really gonna screw us at the UN.
Todd Stern - just another Communist who longs to see millions more Americans lose their jobs and become impoverished and to see our nation move into an energy wasteland where we have rolling blackouts as in third world nation status.
Todd - Obama/Clinton/Gore flunkie - the only thing that is urgent is that YOU and your SPONSORS lose power asap.
